In an argument, try to listen to the other person carefully. What is she saying, how is he reacting to your sentences. Most of the time, during a feisty debate, we tend to pay attention only to the voices inside our heads instead of focusing on what the other person is saying. This brings down the quality of the discourse and nobody really wins. A good argument is built on logic and rebuttal. A bad argument is what we—the lesser mortals, the cursed listeners—generally are content with. Of course, it goes without saying that the best argument is the one that never takes place.
